I can't figure out what I've got here:

I can't find a serial number on it anywhere.

Thoughts?

Thanks!

I think that's a K series - it's before they fitted ramps to the RH ring key foot and has the sheet metal trill key guide instead of the machined/milled one. It also has the shared threaded pillar for the throat A and G# keys.

My OCD is kicking in big time with that bell socket ring being on the wrong way up! https://i.imgur.com/JM2NuOZ.jpg

I agree with Chris but I'll add it might be an early L series, it looks basically identical to my L26x other than it doesn't have an old crack repair on the upper joint.
The serial might have been worn off on yours, also-the lower joint on mine you can't read the serial on the L and 2.
